Abstract

Chargeur de ligne de pêche (10) comprenant un cadre ouvert généralement en forme de 'C' (12) pourvu d'un dispositif de serrage simple (14) à l'une de ses extrémités et d'un support-tambour de ligne de pêche (16) à l'autre extrémité. Selon un aspect préféré de l'invention, le chargeur de ligne de pêche (10) comprend un support métallique à angle droit pourvu d'un axe fileté (38) s'introduisant dans un trou taraudé (40) situé à proximité de l'une des extrémités du support. L'autre extrémité du support possède une courte barre de serrage (26) fixée par deux vis (22) et une paire d'écrous moletés (32). Des incurvations en forme de 'V', peu profondes et opposées (24) situées dans la barre de serrage (26) et l'extrémité du support, permettent de fixer le chargeur de ligne de pêche (10) à une canne à pêche. Deux coussinets en caoutchouc (34) à dos adhésif se collent à l'intérieur des creux formés par les incurvations opposées en forme de 'V' (24) pour éviter d'endommager la canne en y fixant le support. Un tambour de ligne de pêche est centré et tendu entre un premier et un deuxième cône en caoutchouc (44) montés sur l'axe fileté (38) des deux côtés du tambour. Une première et une deuxième rondelle en nylon (46) sont montées sur l'axe fileté (38) en position contiguë aux extrémités les plus importantes des cônes de centrage et de tension (44). Un écrou de tension en plastique (48) est vissé sur l'extrémité libre de l'axe fileté (38) pour ajuster la résistance de friction à la rotation du tambour de la ligne. Un écrou de blocage (50) bloque le dispositif en position. L'invention comprend, de plus, un kit comportant les pièces du chargeur de ligne de pêche (10) conditionnées avec des instructions de montage pour l'utilisateur.
